Hello,
I tried sending this to sup@, like the page suggested for this.. but
apparently that user doesn't exist anymore, so hopefully someone can help
here.
I've been looking at trying to convert the CVS repository to a git
repository. My goal with this is to allow for more people to easily take a
glance at the source code of OpenBSD. However, converting a CVS repository
of course requires pulling down every revision. I don't want to annoy a CVS
mirror operator with using so much bandwidth, so I'd like a more direct
method.
Also, I'm aware that git can't be used for submitting patches or anything.
And I'm aware the revision history wouldn't be perfect due to inherit
differences between git and CVS. My goal isn't for a perfect conversion or
anything. I just want for people to be able to easily play with the source
code without spending hours pulling things down.
If you could give me a way to download the bootstrapping files for making
my own (private) CVS mirror, I could do this without burdening a public
mirror operator with wasted bandwidth.
Thanks,
Jordan
